In desperate need of front coilovers

If your shocks use a top nut, LCA method might work.

And I've installed enough lifts that I dropped $800 on a branick wall mount. Free shipping Amazon prime

 

I just used a floor jack under the LCA, springs compress with no issues...

Lol someone posted the same video

 

I've done the above method a number of times with no issues. I've also used a spring compressor from autozone (not a wall mount, those are retarded) and had zero issues. Without meaning any offense, I wonder if you are using said tools correctly. I've had zero issues swapping springs from OEM to Toytec to Old Man Emu with the same basic tools. I know you're super frustrated, but it might take a few hours on YouTube to finally find the method that will work for you. Best of luck.

 

I'm extremely frustrated truck should of been done today .thanks and also pro comp directions suck came with bushings and a sleeve that I see has no purpose might just use the old hardware as I'm reusing original top hat and dust cover .​

 

Should of just bought complete fox from beginning but money is tight right now .

 

Pro comp came with 2 bushings a 14 mm nut and a sleeve no idea where sleeve goes but bushings replace old bushings .

 

Procomp hardware

 

No where it shows sleeve

 

Maybe post pics of what's going on so we can see the whole picture. Some people are better visually.


Well shit that was some timing

 

Might of figured it out

 

That's the supplied hardware without top mount

 

Maybe I missed something? Did you have spacers in there before and are trying to install new struts? Or, are you trying to install Pro Comp struts and a spacer? If you have a spacer in there already of course the compressor wont fit, they are already compressed! And of course no shop would touch it with a spacer installed!

Not 100% following what the goal is here? Lift or better ride? In either case, neither will be achieved to any degree you will be happy with?

 

Eliminating spacer and install these until I can get new fox coilovers I need it back on road by Monday can't get new coilovers for a week or so .

 

That's the plan loosen the lower control arm let it lower and give it a shot .

 

Now to put every thing back together .

 

What? Was that English?

 

You took apart way too much stuff just for a shock swap. If you tied up your spindle before you disconnected it from the UCA, it wouldn't have pulled the axle out. Also brakes didn't have to come off either.
This is my wife's 4Runner but same thing...
You can see spindle tied off to the frame.

Got TC UCAs installed and kings extended travel coilovers after.

 

I replaced shocks axle and complete hub assembly and new end links .
